This is one of the most influential gatherings of contemporary art in Europe.

To celebrate this art extravaganza, the ArtSlant Team will publish two Special Editions focusing on Berlin Art Week. We'll meet the artists, see the art and point you towards some of the must-do events during this week of art. Our Special Edition: Berlin Art Week will go out to 80,000 art subscribers from the US and Europe.

Intermixing an exhibition, dance party and artistic grooming and pampering, the artist Swoon will host a full service pop-up salon like no other. On Saturday, September 8th head over to Pearly's Beauty Shop at See // Exhibition Space in Long Island City and let artists do you up while you enjoy body-shaking jams and a stunning visual landscape.

Special thanks to Rockrose and Chashama.

For an entire month,Lakeeren Gallery in Mumbai ceased to be an art gallery, and instead became a Research Pod, a space for study and knowledge exchange; while in Chicago, new media website DINCA.org became a physical manifestation, an experiment "in real life." Exhibitions can be spaces of learning -- like discovering the historical context of Edouard Vuillard and the avant-garde -- or pure experience -- a summer show at September in Berlin creates a conversational space, a leisurely framework of interpretation -- or perhaps both -- the Gerhard Richter retrospective provides both education and aesthetic experience. Mónica Félix's work questions personal histories, archetypes, and memories; while Paul Cowan's work questions the apprehension of the art object itself and calls for something other than quick judgment.In the RACKROOMBradley Rubenstein interviews Pedro Barbeito about violence, paint, digital imaging, and zombies.In the EDITIONSNew York, Los Angeles, London, Paris--the art world is buzzing for the fall season.
